Cutest photos of the day: kids and pooches read together

BERKELEYSIDE: The Paws to Read program at the Berkeley Public Library’s North Branch runs weekly for kindergarten through 5th-grade kids. Children read aloud to a gentle dog provided by TherapyPets, a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization based in Oakland.

And those dogs really do seem to be paying attention to the kids reading to them — from appropriate books, of course, like Stick Dog Wants a Hot Dog and Bones and The Dog Gone Mystery.
